Mid-week Quickie: House Numbers

One of the little things you don’t think about before you buy a house is what your house numbers will look like. Sure, we’ve all ogled Pinterest and it’s myriad interesting ways to display your house number — but you don’t really *think* about what you want yours to be until it’s yours.

That being said, the house numbers on TOH (this old house) are yawn-inducing booooooring! There’s nothing special about generic black nail-on numbers in Times New Roman.

So, speaking of Pinterest, here are some interesting styles and ways to do home numbers. My hope is that we can find something period-appropriate, but that still feels modern. Will keep you updated!

And, as it turns out, there’s a website called http://www.housenumberlab.com/ that is a dedicated resource to those wanting to find the perfect house number font and style! Since it’s one of the first things that people see when they come to your home, I appreciate that others find it as serious a matter as I do!
